[VIKING] Fearless Travelers (Tollak x Wa)

[CaliWolfe]

Tollak hadn't been back in the pride for very long before he had been asked to come along on yet another viking. Clearly, he was living up to his name if the older reavers were finally able to recognize his long unacknowledged talent. The little grey lion did not hesitate in answering "yes" to coming along, and he was glad to get back out into rogue lands.

This time around, he decided, he would find awesome treasure. His first viking he had collected some feathers and a throwing stone, but today he was aiming higher!

When the chance revealed itself that the band he was with decided to split up and cover more ground for searching, Tollak sprung away and began sniffing around the forest. He wanted to catch a thrall, or maybe find a nice pelt to bring back with him. Something that screamed "I'm valuable!"

He had little idea he was going to run into someone while searching however, let alone who that someone would be.

When Tollak first laid eyes on the god he blinked.

Then blinked again.

He had grown up having heard of the gods, in passing of course since his childhood consisted of honing his fighting skills. He knew they were highly regarded beings, beings who could change things about the world as he knew it.

He also knew that as legend had it stormborn all were descendants of gods themselves. This begged to question if his own father was a god. Hmm. He had never considered that before.

Remembering where he was standing the adolescent moved a little closer to the god, inspecting him almost.

"What are you?" He asked. "I haven't seen a lion with wings or horns like that before." In Tollak's mind there was a possibility that this lion, this god, was just rogue. Tollak hadn't met any lions outside of the stormborn either, and although he knew the ones brought back as thralls tended to be tiny who was to say giant rogues didn't exist either?

A grin overcame the small lion's face as he was satisfied to hear the god admit what he was. "So you are a god!" He said with glee.

Tollak was already looking forward to the journey home, if only because he could show off to his family that he had met such a being. If there was one thing, one nasty habit that the adolescence truly relished in it was gloating to his brother over his own success. Stigyr was nothing but a bookworm in Tollak's mind. A useless bookworm who couldn't even fight. Even Dagny knew how to fight, and although she was a mint-maker and not a reaver she was still Tollak's sister who was far better, in his mind, then his brother.

He walked near the god now, and continued to gaze upon him with all his childish youth. He wondered if those horns were apart of the god himself, or if they were battle trophy's that he chose to wear.

"I'm Tollak." He said, "I'm a viking reaver. What's your name?"

Tollak attempted to give a bow of his head, afterwords promptly shoving his braid out of his face. His mane was growing with each passing day and in doing so it continued to make it difficult to keep from shrouding his eyes. As per tradition he braided the longest of his fur back, and now had added one upon his face as well. They both seemed to come undone frequently and it was a bother to re-braid them.

"We're not that far." Tollak told the god. He wasn't sure about bringing a god of drought to their pride, but maybe a lack of storms would be good for a while. It would certainly make him feel better. "A few hours travel that way, and we will arrive at the borders."

"Escorting you is no trouble. I'll make sure no reavers bother you. Would you give me a bit of your mane for doing that then?" He felt lucky that this god was willingly offering him up a trophy. He'd have something nice to decorate his den with and could proudly retell stories of his meeting the god.

It was a win-win situation.

Success! Tollak felt pleased as he went to retrieve his new treasures before walking alongside the god in pleasure. Certainly his band wouldn't be missing him too much would they? He doubted it, and besides they could easily enough stop by the captain to explain that Tollak was heading back prematurely on the viking.

He figured it wouldn't take him that long to fix the leaf carrying his present into a bag of some sort, and with that in mind nodded to the god in telling he'd only be a few moments longer before they could leave.

Finding some sort of string was easy when your mane was as thick as it. Tollak yanked out one of his own hairs to help his new creation come to life. Boy, he couldn't wait to see the look on his family's faces when they saw him as he brought a god home. He would gladly bask in the glory and praise that he had no doubts he would receive for accomplishing such a feat!

Ah, he had finished his bag. The grey lion swung the creature over his head and was pleased as it stayed in place. "Ready?" He asked the god. The trip would be feel like nothing, Tollak assumed, as he would have this new creature to entertain him.

Looking at it now his Viking had been successful. Successful, and without violence. This made it a very interesting viking, to say the least.

Sure! This is the last from me then. :3
